I think you are on the right track. There have been threads on the list
in the past discussing problems with certain routers and the ECN
settings.
In all cases I am aware of disabling ECN on the FC3 box improved
performance.
This can be done without recompiling the kernel, follow Paul Howarth's
message to do this.
